Treffen junge Musikszene
19 to 24 November 2025
The selection for the “Treffen junge Musikszene” presents a relatively young generation of remarkably mature, skilled, and experimental musicians, including numerous strong female artists. The musical genres span a wide spectrum – from pop in its many forms, through rock, hip-hop, folk, jazz, bossa nova, funk, post-grunge, punk, and alternative metal, all the way to electronic music and instrumental compositions.
Treffen junger Autor*innen
20 to November 2025
This year, the jury has selected 21 remarkable emerging authors from 10 German federal states as the prize winners of the “Treffen junger Autor*innen”. In terms of content, the authors write about deeply personal situations and relationships, exploring questions of social and emotional integration, family stories, and everyday observations, as well as global issues such as politics, climate change, and social or economic injustice. Their texts revolve around love, queer identity, and the longing for closeness.
